Phillip Heller had an historical biography printed in 1884 at Jackson twp., Wyandot Co., Ohio, :
under Jackson Township heading: "PHILIP HELLER, born July 4,1824, in Dauphin County, Penn., came with his parents to this part of the country in 1826. He is the son of Adam and Anna (Massner) Heller, both born in the year 1806, natives of Pennsylvania, and of German parentage. Their family consisted of three children, -Philip, Almira and Mary A. The subject of this sketch, being left an orphan at the age of six years, was compelled to labor for his board and clothes until his sixteenth year, when he engaged in a woolen factory, pursuing this work until the outbreak of the Mexican war. He then enlisted at Buffalo, going directly to New Orleans; but, the war having suddenly closed, he was honorably dismissed, and returned to Toledo, Ohio, where he engaged on a fishing boat until 1846. He was next engaged in a machine shop at Fostoria for one year, and after that as civil engineer for two years. Leaving that occupation, he again resumed work in a woolen factory at Findley for one year, but after that time removed to Blanchard to engage in the same work, buying a half interest in a factory at that place. At Blanchard he remained four years, at the expiration of which he removed to Wood County, where he erected a saw mill and lath factory. Six months were spent in this enterprise, after which the carpenter's trade was taken up and followed till August of 1862. He then enlisted in the United States service, One Hundred and First Regiment, going into camp at Monroeville, Ohio. At Perryville his first engagement took place, and he afterward did skirmish duty at Cumberland Gap. Receiving injuries of the spine, he was placed in the hospital, and soon after received his discharge at Quincy, Ill., for disability. He then returned to Wyandot County, bought thirty acres of land, and engaged with the railroad company at a good salary till 1868. He then purchased the farm where he now resides. In January, 1856, Mr. Heller was married to Sarah Switzkable, ten children blessing their union -Susan, John L. A., Louise B., Martha J., Malinda, Charley, Elijah and Ida L. George and Maggie are deceased. He is a Democrat and member of the G. A. R." and then in the same book, page 837 Phillip is listed as Trustee to Jackson Twp, Wyandot Co. in 1875 and 1876..
Phillip Heller and Sarah Ann Heller appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Jackson twp., Wyandot Co., Ohio, enumerated 7 Jun 1900, own their farm free and clear. Sarah reports she is the mother of 10 children 7 still living. Grandson, Edward lives with them. Two doors down is the family of Robert and Mary Gaster.
Phillip Heller and Sarah Ann Heller lived in May 1905 at Forest, Hardin Co., Ohio. Phillip's wife, Sarah, applies and receives guardianship over Phillips proclaiming him an imbecile. She lists he has Stock and Farm implements worth $300 and 28 acres of land in Jackson twp., Wyandot County with a value of $1,400. But later in same packet it goes on to describe the land and lists it's value at $1,120. There are two parcels. The first is 23 acres in Jackson twp., Wyandot Co in the SouthWest part of Section 2, and the other is 5 acres in same township being in West half of Section 3. He died on 12 Sep 1906 at Jackson twp., Wyandot Co., Ohio, at age 73.
Phillip had an obituary 14 Sep 1906 Upper Sandusky, Wyandot Co., Ohio,
"Philip Heller, for many years a resident of Jackson Township, died Wednesday morning at 3 oclock, death being caused by paralysis. He had been ill the past two years and had been seized with paralysis four times, having suffered the last stroke a week ago. Mr. Heller was born in Pennsylvania July 4, 1833, being in his seventy fourth year. When a young boy he came to Jackson township with his parents, and had resided there since. he had always been a successful farmer. Mr Heller is survived by a wife and seven children, namely, Charles and Elijah, of Jackson twp.; John of Apple Creek, Mich; Mrs Susan Gaster, Mrs. Martha Warner, Mrs Isabelle Warner, and Mrs Linda Hartman, all residing in the vicinity of the homestead. The funeral services well be held at Shiloh Church Friday morning at 10oclock Rev D.C.Garison officiating . Burial at Jackson Center cemetery". He was buried in Sep 1906 at Jackson Center cemetery, Forest, Hardin Co., Ohio. His estate was probated in Oct 1906 at Wyandot Co., Ohio, page 392 shows that Philip owned four parcels of land at the time of his death. These he left to his wife as long as she remained his widow. Otherwise they were to be sold and profits divided. In reading the land record these parcels are described but no section numbers are listed. In my calculation it appears he still owned PROPERTY A, G and a combination of F&E all total abt 28acres, plus a lot in Smith's Addition in Forest, Hardin Co., Ohio that is 50x270. All four are transfered to Sarah on Oct 12, 1906.
